See, I held back this particular conspiracy theory of mine. Like why the hell would El Salvador care about any of this? But you have to remember who Trump is. He solves problems by making deals. He said what's it gonna cost me to disappear some people. El Salvador had a price.

We as a society need to have a reckoning with the idea that "playing by the rules means I can't do what I want to" is an excuse to ignore the rules. It isn't: it means you can't do what you want to. - OpenAI illegally scraping - Meta saying "it's impractical to moderate at scale" - this

There is a model of reporting that grants anonymity for people to say shitty things about people. There is another model of reporting that grants anonymity to secure information for the public that isn't otherwise public. The former protects people in power; the latter challenges those in power.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

The Korean parliament vowed to impeach their president EVERY WEEK until his party either stopped protecting him or the guy resigned in disgrace. No other business could proceed until they got rid of the attempted dictator.

I. Don't. Give. A. Shit. if he's a gang member (which is what they're redefining as "terrorist") NOBODY should be trafficked into foreign slave labor camps. Not good people! Not bad people! Nobody! With, or without due process!

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

I am horrified by Sam Altman's suggestion that ethical AI limits can be gathered through AI itself being used to scale out having conversations with hundreds of millions of human users of OpenAI products and it being a matter of majority consensus mediated through his machine. Ethics is a field!

Bonkers. This is a great example of why I keep saying that no one should just accept the government's word as fact. It is run by flawed people who aren't inherently trustworthy—which is something conservatives used to understand. Once again, due process matters.

Out of court. Fascinating to see Judge Xinis in action. My read is that she’s FAST losing patience with the defendants, and skeptical that they will comply with her orders in “good faith” (a phrase she used many times, pointedly). She’ll keep trying, but now she’s building a record for contempt.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

"While spikes in police criticism did occur after high-profile incidents, such as the murder of George Floyd in 2020, the study found that these increases were temporary... In fact, since 2020, local reporting supporting the idea that police are effective has slightly increased."
